Recent news reports imply that New Zealand SAS forces have turned a blind eye to mistreatment of Afghanistan detainees. They either viewed mistreatment by Afghan officials, or turned detainees over to U.S. forces where mistreatment and torture was likely.
New Zealand officials and politicians deny the allegations with the usual and predictable statements.
Are the New Zealand officials telling the truth? I say "No". They are lying. If Wikileaks has taught us anything, it is that the government lies to its citizens. Even in the face of objective evidence to the contrary they will lie.
